3D origami baby octopus papercraft
She drifts gently, curious and endearing, between two imaginary reefs. This 3D origami baby octopus turns a few sheets of paper into a sculpture full of personality. As the pieces come together, the tentacles seem to come alive, volume takes shape, and the object feels almost animated. A project to enjoy slowly, fold after fold, perfect for anyone who loves creating with their hands.
Available in two sizes, the octopus adapts to your creative mood. The small version measures H27 × W29 × D20 cm and is made up of 8 pages. The more imposing large version reaches H39 × W42 × D29 cm and requires 17 pages. In both cases, the model includes 32 elements to assemble, offering a balanced and rewarding challenge.
The color palette brings softness and charm to the model: 5 green sheets and 3 light yellow sheets for the small size; 11 green sheets and 6 light yellow sheets for the large. This subtle contrast enhances the volumes and highlights the octopus’s youthful character without overwhelming the design.
